Leah Shelton

Sedated women are everywhere. In fairytales, in art, in bars and nightclubs, in psych wards, in chat rooms, in porn – it seems society loves to see a woman who’s out of it.

Psycho-siren Leah Shelton, Director Ursula Martinez and the killer team behind smash hit BATSHIT bring their signature blend of theatricality, dark humour and high-camp performance art to explore how the fairytale dreams of yesteryear have become the nightmare reality of today.

"Simply magnificent … don’t think I’ve ever seen an audience so totally gobsmacked."
